1. 1850 Census Index/Microfilm (online at GenealogyLibrary.com; mis-indexed as "Jesse Litler"): 33^rd District, Marshall Co., VA [now WV], p. 272A, 446/448, enumerated 15 Aug 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Eliza E " 3 f "

Nancy J " 1 f "

John " 17 m " "

Mathias " 15 m "

Eliza E. Vandevort 19 f Pa

The ages for Jesse and Melissa are as given; the record is clearly legible. The census-taker could be wrong, which would make more sense. James, John, and Mathias are Jesse's younger brothers.

2. 1860 Marshall County Census (online at the Marshall County WVGenWeb Site; extracted by Kay L. Mason):

The widow may have been fibbing about her age.
